David Duchovny has confirmed a sequel to The X-Files movie is in the works - with himself and Gillian Anderson reprising the characters that made them famous. The actor, who played Agent Fox Mulder in both the cult TV series and 1998 movie, reveals X-Files creator Chris Carter and writer Frank Spotnitz are busy working on a script for the new film. The news comes after weeks of speculation surrounding Anderson's involvement in the project. Duchovny says, "This week, they're starting some kind of road towards doing it (the film). Gillian and I both want to be in it now. We're happy to do it. At this point all of the kind of fatigue and anxiety that we had towards the end of a nine-year run is gone." He jokes, "We've forgotten why we hate one another and can only remember why we love one another and we're very happy to go back. Chris and Frank are going over the story. It's a story they've had for a few years but we haven't all settled on the fact that we wanted to do it, so now they're hammering it out."

what do you think it's going to be?

it better not be as disappointing as when we found out what ACTUALLY happened to mulders sister.

that was to jeffrey spender, his son with cassandra spender / patient x.

the mulder stuff is elaborated on in the two fathers / one son two-parter from season 7. i'm pretty sure, at one point, when CJB shoots jeffrey, he says he was a disappointment (or something) compared to his brother.

I remember evil cats and an episode where they took body organs and put frogs there instead and then burned a man alive in a cremation thing. that still makes me shudder and may be the reason why I had such an aversion to the idea of cremation.

Once upon a time (say about 6-7 years ago)the news of a new X-files flick would have been cause for celebration as the show was still an essential part of any sci-fi freaks weekly tv diet. Today its about as welcome a new Police Academy movie. We need it like we need the bird flu and aids!

So, it's not about earning a decent paycheck for the first time in a decade?
